Translation of Shaam kun aavanta jo kahe

Shaamku aavan(n)taa jo kahe

ejee shaamku aava(n)taa jo kahe, taaku(n) laakh vadhaai
paa(n)ch sakhee kero vahaalmo, kene meeleeyore bhaai

shamku(n) ddhu(n)ddha(n)te dekhte, ketaa jug gayaa viraa ketaa bhavbhayaa.............................................1

O momins! Those who inform about the gracious arrival of the Imam, are entitled to hundreds of thousands of felicitations. O brothers! The one who has recognised the one(Imam), is as dear as the five dearest ones. Seeking and looking for the Imam, o brothers, numerous ages have gone and many incarnations have been consumed.

ejee saamee ke gale me(n) haar hay, heeraa maannek jaddeeyaa
jeesare bhaave taaku(n) det hay, saaheb hay deel dariyaa....2

O momins! Around the Master's neck there is a necklace, set with diamonds and jewels. He gives to whom he pleases, for the Lord is infinitely generous.

ejee saamee maaro chatur sujaann hay, aape sreshtth divaan
jeesa ke bharose sthir rahyaa, rahyaa jameen aasmaan........3

O momins! My Master is knowing and wise, and his is the supreme authority. He who abides firmly trusting in him has the earth and the sky at his feet.

ejee jaa(n)thakee hee jug jeet hay, ma(n)y hu(n) baa(n)dee re taakee
vachane vachane paau(n) bharu, cha(n)daa suraj saakhee......4

O momins! So long as this world endures, I am his handmaiden. I humbly obey his every command, the moon and the sun be my witness.

ejee peer sadardeen boliyaa, koi man aapnnu samajaave
kapaddaa dhove so kyaa huvaa, deel dhove so paave...........5

O momins! Pir Sadardeen has said: if anyone would make his mind understand, then what comes of washing clothes? Attainment comes through cleansing the heart.
